Woods Cross is in the driver’s seat for its first girls golf state championship after Monday’s 5A opening round.
The Wildcats shot a 330 at Glendale Golf Course and lead second-place Bonneville by 11 shots. Two-time state champion Skyline is 13 shots back.
The Lakers haven’t won a girls golf state title since winning back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012.
Bonneville’s Whitni Johnson is the Day 1 leader after shooting a 1-under 71.
Johnson was 4-over through 11 holes after bogeying No. 10 and 11, but she closed the last six holes in 5-under to finish her round at 1-under. She eagled No. 13 and birdied No. 12, 15 and 16.
Woods Cross’ Kennedee Pearson is in second place after firing a 2-over 74 on Monday. Salem Hills’ Navy Hubbs and Brighton’s Claire Olafsson are tied for third with 75s.
